Natural history serves as the starting point of this exhibition. From the horizontal transformations of Tainan’s inland sea to the vertical ascent of Yushan’s summit, the journey traces the route from the estuary upstream to the mountains, showcasing the ecological diversity encountered along the way and building a knowledge path of the Mountains to Sea Greenway.

 

Craft, with its distinctive processes and textures, adds layered readings to this exploration. Through creative deconstruction and transformation of natural elements, the works reinterpret the ecological features and hidden facets of the landscapes found along the Greenway.

 

The exhibition shifts fluidly between the micro-perspective of natural history and the interpretive lens of artistic creation. Visitors are invited to view nature from multiple vantage points, to explore new possibilities of ecological thinking, and to follow the spirit of High and Seek—curiously walking step by step along the Mountains to Sea Greenway, uncovering discoveries of their own.
